Direct-fit windshield weatherstrip designed for 1970–1977 Mercury Capri vehicles. This replacement seal features an integrated trim groove to retain windshield molding while providing a watertight, wind-resistant barrier. Constructed from durable EPDM rubber with excellent UV and ozone resistance, it restores the original seal performance, reduces road noise, and prevents leaks and water damage. Ideal for restoration projects or routine maintenance, the seal offers reliable long-term performance and straightforward installation for DIYers and pros alike.

Installation / Application:
- Difficulty: 2/5
- Estimated time: 30–60 minutes (plus adhesive cure time)
Instructions:
- Remove the old windshield molding and weatherstrip carefully using a trim removal tool; cut away any stubborn material with a utility knife.
- Clean the windshield channel and surrounding flange thoroughly with isopropyl alcohol or a solvent to remove old adhesive, dirt, and grease.
- Dry-fit the new weatherstrip into the channel to confirm orientation and that the trim groove aligns with the windshield molding.
- If using adhesive, apply a continuous bead of recommended weatherstrip adhesive to the channel or the seal per adhesive instructions; some installations may only require adhesive at the corners and pinch weld.
- Starting at one corner, press the seal into the channel, working around the windshield. Use a rubber mallet or block of wood to gently seat the seal and avoid distortion.
- Ensure the trim groove fully engages the windshield molding; reinstall the molding into the groove where applicable.
- Tape or hold the seal in place as needed and allow adhesive to cure per the adhesive manufacturer’s recommendations (typically 24 hours) before driving.
- Inspect the perimeter for uniform seating and test for leaks after cure by gently spraying water around the windshield and checking the interior. Make any minor adjustments as necessary.
